A request first thing on Wednesday for some old school video content.
OK…
The WordPress search facility pointed me in the right direction. I enjoy looking back on old school content much more than I enjoy creating it.
I picked out some video content from 2013. A four year time gap is a LONG time in the short life story of primary school kids.
I knew that I had more of the particular content requested archived away elsewhere.
Ah yes - blip.tv.
I used the buggers for a couple of years as the main platform for a couple of school site. And then blip kindly informed me that my content would disappear in 30 days.
Cheers, fellas.
Good job then that I downloaded it all and archived it across a couple of external drives.
I was able to pick out some content dating back to 2010.
SEVEN years is a LONG time in the short life story of primary school kids.
It was also pretty cool uncovering a video shot in 2009 showing the foundations for the SE17 school being laid.
THIS IS HISTORY, etc.
It’s not exactly an epoch defining world event. But then I was always more about the local than the global.
@RobertElms played Lovecats later in the morning.
I left out a meowwww to Daisy and Dotty, with no sense of irony, or even self-awareness.
Remote working can send a man mad.
The stop/start work led to a day indoors. My only escape was to the Post Office to buy some stamps.
I say *some* stamps - I forked out over £20 for four books of second class. They go up in price next week. I like to count the pennies…
And then the news agenda took over.
Nasty, nasty events aside - if they ever can be put aside - but I do miss the days when Londonist was actually a news site.
I do miss the days when @Londonist was a news site. Remember when @sizemore & @Hinchcliffe live blogged 7/7?

I tried to escape it all with the England match.
meh, etc.
I’ve got an escape back home to South London in the morning.
